1. How did you get into 29? The Mars Volta
I got a promo copy of Bedlam in Goliath from my work. At first the music was a little too sporadic for me. Then my TMV friends gave me De-Loused and since I've been hooked. Once the new album came out and I heard Cotopaxi is when I think I became a big fan. I have all the albums now.

2. What was the first song you ever heard by 22? Fates Warning
It had to have been something off of Spectre Within or Awaken the Guardian my friend showed me, and I honestly wasn't blown away. At least not until I heard some of the newer songs played live on Portnoy's latest DVD. I'm much more into the Alder era FW.

3. What’s your favorite lyric by 33? Mastodon
The first few lines in Crack The Skye (track) are amazing..
"Blessed visionary, cut me with your sun,
The rivers ran in blood, spark fueled to fire
Deep within the endless void
Searching for a sign
The vessel forged inside me
Watches over like the death of the moon"

4. What is your favorite album by 49? Devin Townsend
Ziltoid! I remember my friend showing me this album before it was released. I couldn't take it seriously with the cover. I thought this Devin Townsend guy was a little over the top. Well he is! And now that's the reason I like him so much. He writes in a manner of "not giving a fuck" and I love that now that I "get it".

5. How many albums by 13 do you own? The Dear Hunter
Act's I, II, and III which is pretty much all you can find. I'm not sure if there are other small singles or anything available, so as far as I know I have everything!

6. What is your favorite song by 50? Genesis
I'm a big fan of The Knife and Return of The Giant Hogweed. I can't really decide which I like more.

7. Is there a song by 39 that makes you sad? Obscura
Not that I could say. All I have by them is cosmogenesis and it's pretty much in your face tech-death the whole way through. Fucking amazing album though.

8. What is your favorite album by 15? Bloodbath
Easily Nightmares Made Flesh. Cancer of the Soul, Soul Evisceration, and of course.. EATEN. SO GOOD

9. What is your favorite song by 5? Katatonia
July. If I could combine that string of songs half way through The Great Cold Distance (Rusted, Increase, July, In The White) I would say that, but hands down July is my favorite track.

10. Is there a song by 6 that makes you happy? Between the Buried and Me
A few songs! Firstly Shevanel Cut A Flip because of the double break down, Secondly Backwards Marathon because of the final IT'S RAAAAAAAAIIIII!!! The hoedown in Ants Of The Sky as well! haha

11. What is your favorite album by 40? Necrophagist
Epitaph solely because of Seven and Diminished to B.

12. What is your favorite song by 10? Meshuggah
Pineal Gland Optics. Closely followed by Dancers to a Discordant System.

13. What is a good memory you have involving 30? The Tangent
Many of the memories I have of The Tangent involve the track Sun In My Eyes. Anyone who knows this song understands why.

14. What is your favorite song by 38? Yes
Heart of the Sunrise for sure.

15. Is there a song by 19 that makes you happy? Anekdoten
YES THERE IS! And for a reason that may seem silly to others. On there first album they have a song called Wheel and they land on a suspended 4 chord that doesn't resolve down to the cliche major 3rd. They just hold the 4 for 2 measures and then move to a new part! Makes me so happy cause I get tired of hearing the same cliche lines over and over.

16. How many times have you seen 25 live? dredg
Sadly none yet. The first chance I had was election night and the second chance I had I was away visiting family

17. What is the first song you ever heard by 23? BeardFish
I actually can't remember. I'm assuming it was As the Sun Sets, because I don't think there were any previews that I found. I just heard many good things about them that I found their, at the time, latest album Sleeping In Traffic: Part Two.

18. What is your favorite album by 11? Camel
The Snow Goose. The whole album flows so well, like the story it's based off of.

19. Who is a favorite member of 1? Dream Theater
It has to be Mike Portnoy. He opened me up to a whole other realm of music with Liquid Tension Experiment and Dream Theater. Being a drummer myself he just came to be one of my biggest inspirations as an artist.

20. Have you ever seen 14 live? Coheed and Cambria
Yes at Lollapalooza 2009. Also got to do the meet and greet with them. Lots of fun

21. What is a good memory involving 27? Helloween
Oh Helloween, I love those guys. Always reminds me of Nick and John Walsh as they both took part in getting me into them. The concert John and I went to was just an awesome time.

22. What is your favorite song by 16? Pain of Salvation
Hmm this is a thinker. I love Rope Ends and Fandango. Also Nightmist. Chainsling is sick too. I'm not too sure if there is a definite best, but if I had to choose it would be Rope Ends.

23. What is the first song you ever heard by 47? Type O Negative
Love You To Death, and damn was I instantly hooked.

24. What is your favorite album by 18? Spock's Beard
V for sure. At the End of the Day and Thoughts Part 2 are easily my two favorite songs by them.

25. What is your favorite song by 21? Gojira
Esoteric Surgery definitely.

26. What is the first song you ever heard by 26? Pagan's Mind
I just realized Dredg and Pagan's Mind are tied at 25 but I saw dredg first. So PM gets this question. It was The Celestine Prophecy. Totally not what I was expecting. Really cool stuff

27. What is your favorite album by 3? Opeth
It was always Blackwater Park, but I'm so in love with Watershed still that I think that it's my most favorite now.

28. What is you favorite song by 2? Porcupine Tree
The Sound Of Muzak. Easy.

29. What was the first song you ever heard by 32? Oceansize
It was Commemorative T-Shirt. I got the Frames album and a group of us had a listening party to this new band.

30. What is your favorite song by 8? The Flower Kings
Monkey Business probably. I love Silent Inferno too, along with Chicken Farmer Song, Last Minute On Earth, and Adam and Eve.

31. How many times have you seen 17 live? Symphony X
Twice. So good the first time I saw them a second.

32. Is there a song by 44 that makes you happy? Rodrigo y Gabriela
Pretty much all of them. I really enjoy the Orion cover.

33. What is your favorite album by 12? Muse
I think Origin Of Symmetry is the most consistent even though Absolution has some of my favorite songs.

34. What is the worst song by 45? Powerglove
Hmm lets see. I'm not a fan of there Power Rangers cover as there are versions I've heard that were much better

35. What was the first song you ever heard by 34? Dark Tranquillity
Another one that I'm not sure of. Probably something off of Character.

36. What is your favorite album by 48? Andromeda
The Immunity Zome! It's the only one I have, but damn I love it.

37. How many times have you seen 42 live? Miles Davis
None goddamnit.

38. What is your favorite song by 36? OSI
That would be Go off of Free.

39. What was the first song you ever heard by 28? Into Eternity
One I remember! Splintered Visions

40. What is your favorite album by 7? King Crimson
This is tough. It's a 3-way tie between Red, Larks' and Discipline.

41. Is there a song by 31 that makes you happy? Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Are You Ready Eddy? cause it's silly.

42. What is your favorite album by 41? Ayreon
Probably 01011001 because Jonas is amazing on it along with Gildenlow and Hansi.

43. What is your favorite song by 24? Frost*
Definitely Black Light Machine. SO GOOD.

44. What is a good memory you have involving 46? Frederik Thordendal
The reaction my friend had to the drum solo.... anyone who knows understands and probably had the same reaction. I know I did.

45. What is your favorite song by 35? Protest the Hero
Bloodmeat and Spoils are my top 2. Probably Bloodmeat first though.

46. Is there a song by 9 that makes you happy? Rush
Faithless because the lyrics are totally how I feel.

47. What is your favorite album by 4? Lamb of God
Sacrament by a long shot.

48. Who is a favorite member of 37? 3
It has to be Joey Eppard. So Good.

49. What is the first song you ever heard by 43? Dethklok
The Coffee Jingle of course! If you don't count the theme song.

50. How many albums do you own by 20? Iron Maiden
Number of the Beast, Powerslave, Seventh Son, and A Matter Of Life And Death. I also own the flight 666 dvd/cd combo.

Freunde, Römer, Musikfans!

Dergestalt absagengeplagt geht der Bandcontest weiter in seine vierte Vorrunde, dass man sich entschied, drei dieser kurzfristigen Absager noch eine letzte Chance zu geben. Das bedeutet, dass das Trio in einer fünften Vorrunde am 11.11. den letzten Kandidaten für das zweite Halbfinale ausspielen darf - das Nachsehen haben dabei (vermutlich) Lykewake , welche den direkten Vergleich gegen New Blast Chaos als besten Gruppendritten verloren haben und somit ausscheiden.

Das ohnehin schon bunt besetzte erste Halbfinale am Freitag den 13. November wurde gestern komplettiert - gesucht wurden zwei Bands aus vieren, und die angepriesenen Stilrichtungen gingen ebenfalls wieder weit auseinander.


Erste Band:
Smokedown

Als Herkunft Rhein/Main/Südhessen anzugeben ist natürlich vielsagend - Smokedown bezeichnen sich laut ihrer Myspace-Seite zudem als The South Hessen Rebels und lassen damit schon vorher andeuten, in welche Richtung ihre Musik geht. southern metal und stoner rock, den sie vom Ansager DJ Doom selbstbewusst als METAL! dem Publikum verkaufen, stehen bei ihnen auf dem Programm. Und das nicht mal so schlecht.


Smokedown

Leicht fühlte man sich dazu verleitet, Phil Anselmos Down als Paten anzugeben. In der ungefähren Stimmlage bewegte sich auch Sänger Thorsten, dem aber irgendwie die Stimme für den halbstündigen Auftritt nicht langen mag. Wenngleich mir die Performance gefiel, bemängelten meine nicht ganz neutralen Mitbesucher die Eintönigkeit bei den Songs. Alles wie bei Down also.



Zweite Band:
Thornbridge

"Geht nicht" gibts nicht bei diesem Contest, der sein fünfjähriges Jubiläum feiert. Bei so vielen verschiedenen Musikrichtungen in diesem Jahr (dem breitesten Spektrum bisher) darf natürlich auch eine power metal Band nicht fehlen. Jawohl, Power Metal! Mit Eiern, aber so richtig ... pardon, Melodic Power Metal, laut DJ Dooms Ansage. Melodic als Beisatz verschlimmbesserte schon so manches Genre.

Thornbridge kommen aus dem Main-Kinzig-Kreis und Aschaffenburg, laut offizieller Webpräsenz (mein neues Lieblingswort seit diesen Journals), und bleiben mir persönlich vor allem wegen des Begriffs Jubiläum in Erinnerung: so bezeichnete Sänger Mo Naneder ihren ersten gemeinsamen Auftritt, man hätte sich erst kürzlich zusamengefunden. Vermutlich beim World Of Warcraft - Zocken.


Thornbridge

Da Power Metal bedeutet, dass man geschickt sämtliche altbekannten Klischees bedienen und dabei trotzdem wie etwas Neues verkaufen muss, bewegen sich Thornbridge im übersichtlichen Rahmen. Texte wie Neverwinter Nights animieren zum Schmunzeln, das epische Fanfaren-Intro gabs vom Band dazu, und obendrein huldigt die Kapelle ihren musikalischen Vorbildern Helloween - auch das ein Novum dieses Jahr: die erste Band, welche in der Vorrunde eine Coverversion zockt. Sah man von den sehr durchwachsenen Drums ab war das schon ein recht ordentlicher Auftritt - eingeölte und in schwärzestes Leder gehüllte Joey diMaios belieben uns auch noch erspart.



Dritte Band:
Perditions Departure

"Untergangs/Verdammnis' Abreise/Aufbruch" - ungefähr so lässt sich dieser nach ein paar Bier leider nicht mehr unfallfrei aussprechbare Bandname der Egelsbacher übersetzen. Die jugendliche Truppe (Myspace gibts hier) zockt laut eigener Aussage Metalcore in der frühen Form, also damals, als es noch keine zwölftausend Bands gab, welche das Gleiche immer und immer wieder spielten oder sich jedes Dorforchester berufen fühlte, sich in die Stapfen der Großen shouten zu müssen.


Perditions Departure - merkt euch diesen Namen für Scrabble

Pure Böswilligkeit ließ mich beim Sänger zunächst an Eric Cartman erinnern, der sich jedoch ordentlich einen abbrüllt und uns verbal durch eine Handvoll nicht sehr abwechslungsreiche Songs führt. Die langsamen Parts wurden mal weniger, mal mehr gut ausgeschmückt - wie im zweiten Song (Name ist mir nicht mehr bekannt - das Alter, sorry), der besten Darstellung an diesem Abend. Danach gabs jedoch nur Stückwerk. Song drei und vier unterschieden sich zum Beispiel minimal. Immerhin blieb dem Brüllwürfel erspart, eine schnulzige Emoballade zu trällern.



Letzte Band:
Out Of The Depth

Es fiel mir wirklich schwer, mich noch möglichst freundlichst durch die vier Journale zu schreiben - letztes Jahr wurde an gleicher Stelle die Gehässigkeit und Häme kritisiert, mit welchen ich die Kinder bedacht habe. Und wahrscheinlich wird das auch heute wieder der Fall sein. Dachte ich noch, dass Crystal Finch aus der ersten Vorrunde den Bodensatz darstellten, so gaben sie die rote Laterne dieser Veranstaltung gestern an Out Of The Depth ab.


Aus der Tiefe des Raums

death metal und post rock - das heften sich die Wiesbadener auf die Fahne, und ein schmuckes Banner haben sie ebenfalls mitgebracht. Hat ja auch bei ANNY. und Sardaukar geholfen. Nur ... die Musik. Die ersten zwei Songs undefinierbarer Musikbrei, so richtig schön auf die Bühne geklatscht. Dazu enervierend oft Soundchecks zwischen den Darbietungen. Da sich die Zuschauerränge eh gelichtet hatten (Thornbridge schleppte den größten Anhang mit) hätten Out Of The Depth direkt mit dem ersten Song punkten müssen. Aber nach ein paar scheppen Tönen war das auch passé. Die Post-Rock Einlage war zwar bemüht und nicht ganz so schlecht wie der Death-Versuch, aber das interessierten nur noch die wenigsten.


Das Urteil:

Meine Punkte verteile ich mit zweien an Smokedown (für mich die Besten dieses Abends) und einem an Thornbridge, geschuldet der Tatsache, dass die anderen beiden Kapellen nicht wirklich gut bzw. abwechslungsreich waren.

Nicht dass Thornbridge darauf angewiesen wären: bei 71 gewerteten Stimmzetteln heimsen sie mit 71 Punkten ein Drittel aller möglichen Punkte ein und und stehen somit im Halbfinale. Smokedown setzen die Erfolgsserie der Bands, welche als Erste ran mussten, fort und belegen mit 65 Punkten Platz zwei, was ebenfalls fürs Semifinale reicht. Für Perditions Depature (39 Punkte) und Out Of The Depth (28 Punkte) dagegen ist hier Endstation.

Falls es nicht wieder zu lustigem Platzwechselspielchen kommt, ist das erste Halbfinale am 13.11. damit komplett:

Bläuen Szöök
Bionic Ghost Kids
Underkill
Thornbridge
Smokedown

Das zweite Halbfinale steigt am 20.11., mit bislang folgenden Bands:

Sardaukar
Mortal Existence
Out Of Damage
New Blast Chaos

Und wie gesagt, drei mir noch nicht namentlich bekannte Bands ermitteln am 11.11. an gleicher Stelle den fünften und letzten Teilnehmer - auch wenn dieser nichts daran ändern wird, dass im ersten Semifinale die deutlich abwechslungsreicheren und im zweiten die wesentlich härteren Genres zusammengefasst worden sind.
